The Week Ahead for Cancer
Monday, 23 Feb – Sunday, 1 Mar
Yet another week of curious developments. In a way, what happens is a preview of July’s events, which may strike a chord given that you have special occasions lined up for that period of the year. There is a lot of change and uncertainty in the mix – so what’s new, I hear you say – but if you’ve been thinking of making any kind of change, this is the time to do so. That Mercury slips into reverse mode on Thursday need not prevent you from making or accepting changes, especially those that involve an incident from the past or have their roots in the past.
Don’t fight change.

Monday, 16 Feb – Sunday, 22 Feb
In a year of many astrologically significant weeks, this one is one of the tops. A solar eclipse angling Uranus spells surprises, in many cases related to finances and/or partnerships. Coming close on the heels of Valentine’s Day, maybe there has already been an unexpected development, but given that the timeline of an eclipse is elastic, the next couple of weeks could bring in a new chapter, suddenly and randomly. Saturn and Neptune conjoin on the midheaven of your solar chart, underlining a process that may have been going on for a while – the breakdown of old structures. What will replace them will take some time to manifest.
Unprecedented.

The Month Ahead for Cancer
February 2026
There’s nothing small and insignificant about February’s alignments: they have important implications for your future. Events on the global stage could affect your short or long-term agenda or developments in your personal life may inspire a change of plan. You may not be a great lover of change, but what happens this month is intended to liberate you. Only when you take a leap of faith will you discover you have wings. Especially on the weekend of the 14th, cut people a lot of slack and forget about sticking to the script. Improvise.

Make the moves. Have confidence in your talents and your ability to manifest.
